Our suggestions
Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran finds solace in her cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates and occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life, unable to pop her bubble of isolation, when a friendly new coworker, Robert, persistently tries to connect with her. Though it goes against every fiber of her being, she may have to give this guy a chance. Director Rachel Lambert and team craft beautiful cinema for this delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. The film is made all the more human by its lovely cast, most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actress/producer, Daisy Ridley, and the caring smile of lead actor, Dave Merheje. SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING is an unexpected fable on the virtues of living.
"Sometimes I Think About Dying follows Fran (Daisy Ridley), an office worker who feels disconnected and isolated at work, amidst a meaningless, bureaucratic environment, in a film that explores everyday monotony and despair. With the arrival of Robert, a new co-worker, the film introduces a dynamic that begins to alter Fran's perspective. The art direction, costume design and especially Daisy Ridley's performance are highlights, contributing to the construction of a cold and pale atmosphere that begins to gain color as the plot develops. The film emerges as an existentialist essay on apathy and human relationships in the contemporary world, questioning how to escape the bubbles that surround us."
